I knew that Arsenal was never going to get it easy because they didn't have it easy in the first leg moreover champions league is quiet different from premier league and so is the performance aswell, you can't be expecting that champions league team wouldn't challenge much more than the premier league teams did challenged Arsenal, it's more competitive and has got Moser st stake .
The champions league is like the peak league amongst elite leagues across Europe so most team there puts in only their best because any thing short of that will means they will be crashing out of the league of which they wouldn't want to knowing how much the champions league means to them. Arsenal did put in their very best in last night encounter and so did Porto too but then it happened that Arsenal got to qualify after the penalty shoot out, it's even enough for Porto to have held on thst long.
Personally I would say Porto did fight a good fight even if they weren't able to win the match and qualify for the next stage of the game, congratulations to Arsenal, topping the premier league table and t the same time having qualified for the quarter finals of the champions league, could it be the gunners have got something up their sleeves for us this season, lets see what they have got after now.
We have to admit how superior Arsenal rose in the second leg, even though Arsenal won with difficulty but in the end the fans could smile after so long they waited to be able to qualify again for the last 8 of the Champions League, Arsenal struggle I think was quite tough and even in that match it was seen throughout the game Arsenal continued to get great pressure from the Porto attackers and fortunately for Arsenal to have Raya under their crossgoal in the match
Arsenal also actually had many opportunities to score more than 1 goal in the match and even after winning 1 goal through trossard goals, Arsenal had actually scored through odeggard but unfortunately the goal was disallowed by the referee due to a foul , Porto extraordinarily solid defense made Arsenal attackers quite frustrated and even I saw Pepe was able to build a layered defense to maintain Porto's defense Stay tough throughout the game.
Quite happy to see Arsenal can continue their journey in the Champions League season and curious enough to see which strong team will be their next opponent later.
